Hey guys. Just wanted to let you know that I just became a dealer for IRO cycles. They have some interesting stuff.

I ordered a Cyclo Cross (Rob Roy) frame that I am going to build up fixed this season. Fenders, wide tires and the lot!

They have some good prices on cranks and such too. It's all 3/32" but still for the price its awesome.

Nice, good for you. I don't think I've ever seen an IRO up close before.... any idea what you will be selling the track frames for?

The Mark V Pro (which is the Track Frame with no cable bosses and such) will sell for $475. That's the most expensive frame. (comes with a fork too though, so still a pretty sweet deal)

The other frames all sell within $50 of this price as well...
Pretty reasonable really!

I just ordered in one of their fixed Cross Frames for myself..

Yeah I made it out it was a pretty nice ride...! I ended up doing the 123km route, there was a 112 and a 145km option.

It was good except the 3 minute hail storm 8km from my house GG. Hehe. Come out to ... possibly next Saturdays ride. It starts at kipling station.

Also since we're with the TBN, we can volunteer on Sunday for the ride for heart (free lunch,t-shirt,ride), which is also the reason for no TBN rides on that day. Your knee should be good to go by then :D

Ok tomorrow's the day!! Where are you guys??
Hopefully I'll see some of you guys outside the Princes Gates at 7am! Lets keep our fingers crossed for no rain!

If anyone gets separated and still wants to meet for lunch/beer...We're planning on getting to "C'est What" between 1130am and noon...

Its at the Corner of CHURCH STREET and FRONT STREET (South East Side)

I should be there for 7. Depends how long the check in takes.

im going to check in AFTER meetung up with everyone

Sounds good. I'll be there for 7

funny...just went to find my sticker (the one you need to ride with)...
My wife threw it out...

I just rode over to 1255 Bay Street and got a new one...You can actually register and pick up your badge there too (BAY and YORKVILLE)....no lineups really...

I'm going to be volunteering with the TBN bike ambassador style (yeehaw!), I hope to meet you guys there at 7 as well before I head off.

I wish I can make it, but I am working this weekend, have fun guys, last year, I was able to ride with them, it was lots of fun specially the adrenalin rush going north of DVP...

hey guys.. how long do you think the line-ups are going to be? i can picture nightmarish... i'm supposed to meet some co-workers at 715am but i'll go earlier if i can avoid the crush. i was going to pick up a dozen assorted buns from kim moon for youse guys today for breakfast tomorrow but i wasn't able to make it.... i'll drop by the princess gates anyways and see if anyone's there.

FUZZ. I'm gona be there around 7.30. I woke up late. 2 hours late to be exact Anyways leaving now.

CRAP! I am leaving soon...but if you get this...meet us afterwards between 1130am and noon at Cest What if you miss us this morning!!

Hell I just came back, it's SO HOT. Oh yeah, it was adrenaline rush both ways :D 34 degrees to be exact. Cavit8 and bikeophile: nice lunch! We should do more rides together!

Yeah great ride and terrific lunch! I really love that place :)
Gokiburi and Darkmother you guys missed a good lunch! Hope your rides went as well as ours! Even after years of doing this ride its still such a blast!

Hey Bikeophile, do you know if Keith has shipped my wheels yet? I'm looking forward to riding on those things!

rob, sorry i couldn't hook up with you guys..it sounded like a tastylunch. the buddies i was supposed to meet up with STARTED drinking at 430am(!) and subsequently didn't hear their alarm so i ended up waiting an hour for them. i managed to get 6 people to ride but it took us about 20 minutes to get to the start line and it was about 930am by then. we weren't exactly peeling it down the highway and it was well past 1130am by the time we finished. wasn't rain in the forecast?? i think i saw a grand total of 2 fixies. great ride though!

Oh and uh, darkmother I think I saw you on the ride (I think it was you, just passing through the bridge/double arches. I couldn't catch up to you.

Crappy. I thought I heard someone call my name around there too, but I didn't see you. Fun ride though, I wish they would close the DVP more often.

I only saw one fixie out there-I was on my road bike too, I had planned to do a longer ride, but changed my mind after I left my place.

On the donut ride on Saturday, some dude rode it on a brakeless track bike. The guy was an animal. Legs like a body builder, he pretty much hung with the lead group through all but the steepest uphills, and fastest downhills where he couldn't quite hang on. It was pretty impressive.

what did you guys order?

hey ladies,

here are some pics from the ride-for-heart with my co workers. bikeophile, operator, cavit8, sorry again i couldn't make it out with you guys.. your lunch sounded great!
